14. Kid A Mnesia Bonus Episode: "If You Say the Word"

Bonus mini episode! Radiohead is getting ready to release Kid A Mnesia, a deluxe version of Kid A and Amnesiac, which also includes a brand new album of alternate versions and outtakes. The first song released from the project, the haunting "If You Say the Word," leads them on a discussion of Neil Young and Dante. Plus, the two discuss how they'll even be able to do a next season, considering that many of the songs on the next two albums don't have guitars.

About the Podcast

Anyone Can Play Guitar
Learning every Radiohead song on guitar in order
Listen along as a food critic in Chicago and a Latin teacher in Switzerland make their way through the Radiohead catalog, learning how to play every song on the guitar. To prove they've put the time in, they're forcing themselves to record versions of each track to play for all to judge. Armed with this knowledge, they'll discuss each song, while simultaneously admitting to potentially embarrassing personal stories from more than 20 years of Radiohead fandom.

As a guide, we are following the Radiohead Complete: Lyrics & Chords (Faber Edition). What we can't learn there, we'll be looking up on sites like Ultimate Guitar and Songsterr.

I've trained for this music podcast by teaching Latin and English in German in Switzerland for the past nine years. I ride my bike a lot, but not for fun. I live in the same apartment as my wife and two sons.
